SMPD SWAT Team Leader To Compete In CrossFit Games:

SMPD Sgt. Greg Smiley will compete in the upcoming CrossFit Games.

Santa Monica SWAT Team Tactical Team Leader Sgt. Greg Smiley will compete in the 2013 Reebok CrossFit Games July 22-28 at the StubHub Center in Carson, CA.

Smiley, 45, will compete in the Masters 45-49 Division. He qualified with a 15th-place finish worldwide in this year’s Open.

Smiley told CrossFit.com that he trains his SWAT team members using CrossFit.

“The team starts every training day with a CrossFit workout,” Smiley told the website. “These are either done on the beach of Santa Monica or at a local box in the city … We train all over the Los Angeles area, and have found that the box owners are always more than willing to allow the team to train at their box.”
